Abstract
Elastic nucleon form factors constrain the spatial distribution of quarks in the impact parameter plane. A recent analysis found that the average impact parameter of quarks strongly depends on their longitudinal momentum, and obtained an estimate of the orbital angular momentum carried by valence quarks in the proton.
